Swayambhu

Swayambhu refers to a sacred object or image believed to have naturally formed and appeared on its own, without human intervention. In spiritual traditions like Hinduism and Buddhism, it signifies a divine or revered presence that has manifested spontaneously, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, or cosmic energy. Swayambhu sites or artifacts are often considered especially powerful and holy because of their natural origin, attracting pilgrims and reverence. The term underscores the idea of divine self-manifestation, emphasizing the intrinsic sanctity and spiritual significance attributed to these naturally occurring symbols.
